Connecticut NBC station won’t air Megyn Kelly interview

The only NBC television station in Connecticut will not air “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly’’ this weekend, to protest her interview with Alex Jones, who infuriated victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre by claiming the atrocity never happened.

In a memo to the staff at New Britain’s WVIT, obtained by The Post, station general manager Susan Tully said the “wounds of that day,’’ when a madman with a rifle murdered 20 first graders and 6 adults “have yet to heal.’’

The network will instead air a special which will include parents of the Sandy Hook victims and Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy. The special will discuss how to “affect change around violence and mental illness,” the memo said.

Jones, who hosts an Internet radio show, bizarrely claims the parents of the victims could be actors hired to give credence to a government conspiracy to take away people’s guns.

Kelly has said that she finds Jones’ arguments “as personally revolting, as every other rational person does.’’

She attempted to justify her invitation to Jones by saying she wants “to learn how someone who promotes outrageous conspiracy theories has a following of millions of people and has become friendly with President Trump.’’

Bridgeport lawyer Josh Koskoff, who represents the families of several victims, said in a letter to the network, “ Ms. Kelly’s interview implicitly endorses the notion that Mr. Jones’ lies are actually ‘claims’ that are worthy of serious debate; and in doing so it exponentially enhances the suffering and distress of our clients.”
